ICTTEN426 — Design network projects

1 Analyse different types of network technologies

• 1.1Review available network technologies and compare them for application to the expansion or augmentation of network services
• 1.2Examine various techniques for access networks to provide service to green fields, brown fields and rehabilitation projects
• 1.3Examine various techniques for building and core networks to provide for new service, capacity expansion and equipment recovery projects
• 1.4Determine the type of network by accessing and using network information sources
• 1.5Produce a brief on how network architecture components relate to the larger network and their impact on the work
• 1.6Develop an installation activity schedule to minimise workplace disruption and according to relevant regulation and standards
• 1.7Evaluate equipment type and technologies to be considered to determine availability and compatibility with existing network equipment

2 Apply deployment and construction practices for network technologies

• 2.1Review conduit and jointing chamber standards and practices for the access network
• 2.2Examine standards, practices and requirements for locating telecommunications infrastructure in the access network
• 2.3Examine standards, practices and requirements for locating and standing racks and cabinets and supporting infrastructure
• 2.4Examine capacity and practices for cabling and patching of twisted pair, coax and fibre distribution frames

3 Review network standards and prepare draft design

• 3.1Review client’s network deployment rules and apply to a network design
• 3.2Produce preliminary plan or design on deployment of the network that maintains integrity of access, building or core networks
• 3.3Establishing a solution for unforeseen problems through discussions with appropriate personnel, with consideration to job specifications, safety and enterprise procedures to establish a solution
• 3.4Review plan to ensure it complies with all applicable standards and codes required when working on network, and where appropriate make adjustments
• 3.5Produce final design including recommendations agreed with customer

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN426 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN426 needs to address all 44 unit components: 3 elements with 16 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 18 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTTEN426?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN426 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTTEN426 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN426 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTTEN426, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
